My power symbol

As you sit on the log you hear the sound of water. In your mind’s eye you see the shimmer of sunshine on a still pool of water at the edge of the woods in front of you. ‘Stand up’ and walk towards the water. Make sure you keep your roots firmly connected to the Earth. Feel just how heavy they are. Walk to the pool. As you approach the water you realise there is a secluded beach you are stepping onto. There is a huge rock on each end protecting the beach. You feel safe and relaxed here. The water is waiting for you to step in. Walk into the water. Straight in, to your knees. (pause 2 sec) To your hips. (pause 2 sec) To your chest. (pause 2 sec) Stay there for a moment immersed in the crystal clear, warm water. Feel the sun on top of your head. As you stand in the water you see a gold light in the water approaching you very fast. You can see a bright object, the water is pushing it towards you. You know this object is going to give you a lot of inner power. As it approaches, you must be ready to receive it. Prepare yourself. It is coming, nearly here. (pause 2 sec) Now it is right in front of you. You are starting to recognise its shape. Have a good look,what is it? (pause 2 sec) Reach out and take it. It is for you and you alone. (pause 4 sec) Hold your power symbol for a moment and focus on how it feels. Does it give you energy? Does it give you warmth? How does it make you feel? (pause 4 sec) Take it out of the water now. Walk back to the beach. (pause 3 sec) Walk back to the forest. Carry this symbol with you. Walk back to the log. Sit on the log. Keep your power symbol close. (pause 3 sec)
Gently focus on your feet again. Remember you are sitting on the log. In your mind stand up and walk back to the forest. Focus on your bare feet on the forest floor, feel the cool bed of leaves touching your toes and your heels. (pause 3 sec) Now slowly bring your awareness to this room. Feel your feet on the ground. Feel your roots deep in the ground. As you keep focus on your feet, bring your awareness to this room now fully. Become aware of the chair under your body. Listen for the sounds around you. Bring your mind back to your feet. Where are they? Can you feel them? Gently wiggle your toes. Feel the full sensation of the floor beneath your feet. Slightly press them on the floor. Wiggle your fingers and rub your palms. Move your shoulders. Take a deep breath. When you are ready slowly open your eyes, first looking down then up and up until you are looking straight ahead. Do this in your own time. When your eyes are open give yourself a good stretch if at all possible in silence to give others space to do the same in their own time.
